I'll try to keep this short... I moved to work in China in 2015 and put most of my Joes in storage in my wife's hometown of Panama City. Fast forward to 2017 Hurricane Michael sent our storage stuff to God knows where. I know, tough pill to swallow, but I've come to acceptance (joking).
Thankfully I had the foreknowledge to bring my favorite customs with me, but my army builders and all but 2 vehicles are gone. The reason I share is, I had a Sigma Six Dragonhawk modified to fit 1:18. Too bad, the Wild calvary man would have loved his Iron Horse. Instead he has to settle with this PTE stand-in I picked up on taobao. Side note: Does anyone recognize the saddle and reins? It came with the horse but I modified the saddle and stirrups to better fit horse and rider. On to the custom. The only thing I changed about Wild Bill's back ground was his codename. I know there already is a Wildcard, but I never had him. I just feel like Wildcard and Joker (his horse) has a nice ring to it. Recipe Head - POC Law Lower Arms - POC Hawk Hands - POC Dusty Boots - Star Wars Quinlan Vos Phantom Menace single pack version Rest - Mail in Doc Sunglasses, Hat, Belt Buckle, and Revolvers "Woody 'n Pearl" - Wild Bill Mustache - Heavy Duty's donated upper lip (his skin tone matched the hair) Airborne Insignia - Flint? Shoulder/Thigh Holsters - Fodder ROC Hawk? I see my Wild Bill like Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday. You know, if he showed up to work sober. Feedback and questions welcome! Coming up I'll have one of Wild Bill's rivals... Wild Weasel

Thanks, It's really no big deal. I've alway been more into my customs than army building. The only things I miss are the custom vehicles and a couple of those cool DTC Hisstanks. That's the only reason I've brought it up. I hadn't really missed that Dragonhawk until I finished Wild Bill and began working on an Airborne. Man it would've been fun to pair them up with it. But it is a bit of a beast, I don't really have room for the vehicles here anyway.

Very solid figure! And since he has brown hair and a tan uniform, he isn't really Wild Bill anyway, right? He is just the latest Joe to take on the moniker of Wild Card (I mean, they had two Airborne characters, so why not two Wild Cards, right?). Maybe the chopper pilots have an inner circle, where they receive a Cavalry hat when they join/are accepted into the group...
